Just you wait one day you’ll witness this amazing technique where a Mexican or other ethnic child is misbehaving and he tries to run from his mom/tia or abuelita. He thinks he’s safe but oh he’s naivety shines bright bc these women have the power of the gods when they reach critical levels of annoyance and decide to wield chanclas as weapons.

They’ll take the chancla and huck up in he air in a beautiful arc that will soar through the air and strike you in the head/ cheek at amazing speed and the impact won’t be negated by wind resistance. So you’ll feel it’s full force upon impact.

The other skill is when a child has run off around a corner and the chancla is thrown it’ll gain a curve and heat seeking ability where it’ll soar through the air and curve around a corner and zero in on its target. I’ve only witnessed this one the chancla was thrown at an angle just and it whipped over the curved to hit the child trying to espacie behind a fence. After the iconic sound of the rubber slapping flesh crying could be heard from the child.
